William Marsraretten, presi

' l'erth Amboy, X. J., writes:
"A party whose card is- en
' closed called at my house to-
day and endeavored to interest
me in the purchase of laitd at
'Pincwald.' One of the out
standing points in his argument
jivas that Arthur Brisbane and'
Adolph Oches have purchased
land there, and that Arthur
Brisbane highly recommended
this land at a banquet."
This writer never recom
mended the purchase of any
particular real estate anywhere,
never heard of "Pinewald,"
which may be highly desirable,
nevertheless whoever quotes
this writer as recommending;
anything for sale is mistaken
or worse.
Hoys passing the Kdison ex
animation must tell "the value
' of an acre of farming land in
Iowa, what should be done
with communistic propaganda,
' the proper working of the the
ory of survival on a desert, isl
and," etc.
Tlic questions are not easy.
Nobody in Iowa knows exactly
what an aero of farming land
is worth. Neither Mr. Edison
nor our government knows
what is to bc.dpne with "com-
. muuistic propaganda." We shall
have to wait and see.' It de
pends on prosperity.

As to the theory of survival
i'f the fittest mi a desert island,
it would depend on coeoanut
Ireets, j:o's, physieal strength,
and a "Man Friday." Win
ning the examination would not
mean, probably, survival of the
fittest.

Coke Company is bringing nat

And hereafter Chicago, instead
of paying for so many cubic
feet of gas, will pay for so
many "heat units." There is
more heat in natural gas than
in manufactured gas, and it
seems just to the company that
consumers should pay more.
The Illinois Commerce Commis
